Dental Implants
Though you have many options for replacing missing teeth, none have been proven as effective and long-lasting as dental implants. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root supported by the jawbone. Unlike traditional prosthetics, implant-supported restorations do not require tooth reduction for placement.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Appearance. Implant restorations look like natural teeth and support cheeks for a full facial profile.
- Health. Dental implants promote healthy jawbone generation and allow for a diet of hard-to-chew foods.
- Stability. Your new prosthetic will be securely anchored to your jawbone, which means you won't have to worry about your new teeth slipping or falling out.
- Predictability. Dental implants are backed by over 50 years of research and have a 98% success rate.
Because dental implants require a brief surgery, patients must be in good health. If you smoke, drink, or have medical issues, dental implants may not be right for you. Dr. Calvano or Dr. La Grua will carefully examine your oral status and medical history to determine if you're a candidate for dental implants.
